Lou Xi didn’t see President Qin’s helpless yet indulgent expression; he let go of her hand as she ran out of the hospital room to find the doctor.
Standing by the door, Lu Li sneakily overheard and came in after Lou Xi left, with a smile on his face.
"Who would’ve thought that our President Qin can actually utter sweet words!" Lu Li couldn’t help but tease President Qin, "It’s such a shame that our little Lou Xi can’t catch your drift. Or perhaps there’s a generational gap between you two? How could she not distinguish between emotional heartache and physical heartache?"
President Qin looked at Lu Li’s smirk and grabbed a pillow from the bed to throw at him.
Lu Li skillfully caught the pillow and placed it at the foot of the bed.
"Don’t be mad, I can only joke with you while you’re sick." Once President Qin is better, where would Lu Li dare to joke like that? "So, why aren’t you accepting treatment? Then, why are you in the hospital? Do you think lying here in a hospital gown and sweating it out will cure you?"
So, Lu Li really couldn’t understand President Qin’s way of thinking.
Moreover, lately President Qin had been acting strangely to a point where people in the company were privately speculating whether the president’s menopause had come early.
Looking at the situation now, President Qin was indeed acting abnormal.
"Mind your own business," President Qin spoke coldly.
Lu Li wasn’t there on behalf of Jia Sheng’s countless employees, "Is it because... you can’t win over that young girl?"
As soon as these words came out, President Qin’s sharp glance swept over Lu Li; how dare he say he can’t win over Lou Xi?
Lu Li felt a chill down his back—is he right?
He chuckled dryly, "You come to the hospital for treatment but don’t accept it; is it just to make her care for you?"
The more he spoke, the deeper President Qin’s gaze became, like a cover-up being exposed.
But Lu Li also became serious; from knowing President Qin until now, he had never seen him care so much for a girl before. He used to worry whether President Qin might be gay and had a thing for him; he likes girls properly, even though President Qin is handsome, but he’s not into that.
Now, seeing President Qin exhaust his mind to win over Lou Xi, it seems like he’s really serious.
"Are you serious about her?"
"When am I not serious?" President Qin replied solemnly, his stern face full of seriousness.
President Qin had seriously fallen for a girl, and she’s a university student.
"Old Qin, did you go to her school, was that all meticulously planned by you?" Lu Li boldly speculated.
But President Qin didn’t refute!
President Qin didn’t! Refute!!
Today’s events completely overturned Lu Li’s worldview; he had previously heard from Su Lin that President Qin had been particularly attentive to a young girl recently. As for how attentive, Su Lin didn’t say.
Now seeing with his own eyes, Lu Li felt that the aloof and god-like President Qin appeared a bit more human.
"Impressive, my Old Qin!" Lu Li leaned closer to the hospital bed, "Tell me, how did this girl catch your eye? So I can find someone to pair up with too!"
President Qin’s lips curled into a curve on his sickly yet strikingly handsome face.
"Want to know?"
Lu Li still hadn’t realized; when President Qin showed this kind of smile, it usually didn’t end well.
But he still nodded his head!
All he heard was President Qin saying, "Looking like you, you’ll be single for life."
